Pathological Mechanisms in Diabetes 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetes constitutes a worldwide public health problem that affected 463 million people (9.3% of the world’s population) in 2019. Recent projections suggest that this prevalence is likely to increase in the next 20 years, affecting 592 million people (10.1%) in 2035. The average life expectancy of a 50-year-old individual with diabetes is 6 years shorter than it would be without the disease. Indeed, diabetes has been associated with premature death from cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure), several cancers (liver, colorectal, and lung), infections (COVID-19), and other diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and liver and kidney disease). The scope of this Special Issue is to unravel the molecular mechanisms involved in the association between diabetes and comorbidities and to describe the clinical and therapeutic implications of such associations.
